[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 972538, member: 61743"] Bob C. -- Open axles are better in snow for people who don't know how to drive in snow. One wheel will spin, the other won't get any power but it will help track the vehicle and keep it in line. With a rear L/S or locker in snow, both wheels will spin and make it harder to keep the vehicle in line when turning although your forward progress will be better IF you know how to drive it. Front lockers are generally a bad thing for snow covered roads because when you want to turn, the front end will merrily plow straight ahead until you run into something. Got a part number for that Torsen? I'd like one in the winter. [/QUOTE]
